Today, SEGA and Sonic Team issued notice that Kotaro Nakamura will not be voicing his roles in the upcoming third season of Sonic Prime. In a post on Twitter/X, they cite that Mr. Nakamura is under a "temporary rest due to poor health," (quoted from machine translation). Aside from his role voicing Dr. Eggman across many Japanese Sonic series games and media, Nakamura also voiced Mr. Dr. Eggman and Dr. Done-It in the first two seasons of Sonic Prime.
No further details are given on the nature or severity of Mr. Nakamura's condition; however his leave from the role is described as "temporary." In the upcoming Sonic Prime episodes, Mitsuaki Kanuka will be covering the role of Dr. and Mr. Dr. Eggman, and Seiya Yamanaka will be Dr. Done-It.
Nakamura has been the regular voice of Dr. Eggman since 2016 following the passing of Chikao Otsuka.
We at Sonic Stadium also offer our well-wishes to Mr. Nakamura and hopes of a quick recovery.
